Exactly how does it apply? It didn't come from a "King, Prince, or foreign State". I could declare that I grant you a title, but because it isn't coming from a monarch it's meaningless and that article doesn't apply.

I don't think the U.S. Constitution bans anyone from getting a title from some random French family, only from a "King, Prince, or foreign State".

Is this article intentionally misrepresenting? There's plenty of scummy things he's done without having to invent weird distractions.

Don't all modern browsers allow you to disable auto-playing of video, even per-site if desired?

Like I get it, they don't want someone torrenting 100tb of data in a day. That bogs things down.

No, that isn't accurate and isn't getting it.

All the data caps today are for total cumulative quantity per billing cycle. That is not a reliable method for controlling what actually bogs things down, which is the bandwidth used at any moment (speed).

Limiting bandwidth is also done by most ISPs today, but that's not what this is asking to change. The data caps are exclusively a way to charge more.

No misunderstanding - I get what you're saying and I disagree.

I also don't agree that expecting journalists to be accurate makes someone an asshole. If they were reporting on an automobile and wrote that the spark plugs make 500HP we could guess what they likely meant, but we'd also recognize the journalist's ignorance. They should educate themselves on their subject matter so they can do their job properly.

Sure they do. The gun clubs I've joined foster an environment that attracts people who demonstrate care and consideration in all aspects concerning firearms. If someone is lazy and imprecise in the manner in which they communicate about guns, that might also apply to their general demeaner. After speaking with some of these fellows during public range days, it's not surprising when later they're shooting holes in the shelter roof or bouncing ricochets off the top of the berm.

Or dummy rounds (aka snap caps), or blanks...

Tell me you've never compiled software from open source without saying you've never compiled software from open source.

The only differences between open source and freeware are pedantic, right guys?

Which part was dickish? Was it the ellipsis?

Or if the fuses apply to too broad of a system, the wireless modem should be able to be disconnected.

Manufacturers like to implement this capability using modules which can be used across their lines of vehicles. Here's an example for a 2017 Silverado, but you'd want to research service manuals / diagrams for the vehicle you're considering buying: https://www.silveradosierra.com/threads/2017-silverado-removed-lte-modem.660593/

Don't forget that it's not ok to vote for your candidate because they don't already have enough support, therefore there's no way to ever reach the threshold where it'll be ok to vote for them.

It's only ok to vote for the neolibs that the billionaires approve after a promise that nothing's really going to change.

Even in a state that's so blue the Dems have no chance of losing, voting for or writing in someone left of the incumbent will still be deemed a vote for the red team.
